Joshua I could do that , and is looking like I may have to but I was just 
trying to see if I was missing anything obvious or if there was a fix somebody 
knew about.

Why not just use a transitional doctype?

Hi All,

 

I am putting together a basic cross browser wysiwyg using the object element 
instead of an iframe to display the html, as the object element is standards 
compliant.

The object is used to display another html page like so:

 

<object name="textEditorObject" id="textEditorObject" data="test_page/test.htm" 
type="text/html" >

  </object>

 

However my problem is with IE, when I open my floating div for a dialog box it 
renders behind the object and any amount of z-index toggling or adding <param 
name="wmode" value="opaque">; (which works or flash) doesn't work.

 

Does anyone have a solution to this or do I just have to work around it? Like 
so:

 

<!--[if IE]> 

<iframe name="textEditorObject" id="textEditorObject" 
src="test_page/bluemoo.htm" >

</iframe>

<![endif]--> 

<!--[if !IE]> <--> 

<object name="textEditorObject" id="textEditorObject" 
data="test_page/bluemoo.htm" type="text/html" >

</object>

<!--> <![endif]-->

 

Although this would be a big branch for ie.

 

Thank you

 

Robin.
